    Abstract: The present invention relates to an impeller manufacturing method in which a thermal cycle is performed on an assembly body with a brazing material formed of a Ni-containing Au alloy being placed at a bond portion of at least two impeller constituent members. The thermal cycle includes a temperature increasing process with a temperature increasing rate of 20° C./hr. to 100° C./hr., the process including a first intermediate retention and a second intermediate retention each keeping the temperature, the first intermediate retention performed in a temperature range of 500° C. to 850° C. and the second intermediate retention performed in a temperature range of 850° C. to 950° C. (but not including 850° C.). In the thermal cycle, the temperature is increased in a temperature range exceeding 950° C. after the second intermediate retention at a rate lower than that before the second intermediate retention.
